Another riff on this is that you won’t get better products, but more products. AI reduces the barrier of entry and you’ll have many products doing niche things (often for free!) instead of platforms capturing a lot of the incremental value.

It’s like mobile cameras, they reduced barrier of entry to photography, but you didn’t end up getting better photos necessarily. Instead you had more of them.

I like this idea, any new technology that empowers people simply increases volume, there's still an uncaptured element of strategy, design, and taste that doesn't improve with the tools themselves getting better.
